Pacific Dim

Rating: 1/10 (10 July 2014)

I don't understand how you could fail with this movie(sarcasm) but it's a fail. I mean, overgrown iron man-esque robots fighting gargantuan ugly aliens. Sounds like all it needs is some human characters we actually care about and some decent dialog thrown in and you have yourself a blockbuster, right? But this movie manages to fail on every conceivable level. The acting might possibly be the worst acting in any film I've ever seen to date. You'll find yourself halfway through the film, seriously rooting 1. for the aliens to kill off the humans and 2. for the movie to be over. The dialog is the worst in any film I've seen to date. I found myself laughing at the characters delivery of it and bored to tears at the same time. To give this film one star is only because I had to in order to rate it. This movie could have been amazing and the special effects should have saved it but I have issues with that part of the movie as well. For me, I didn't care for the color scheme of the robots or the aliens, often times when they were battling, in my opinion, it was a muddy vision and hard to detect one from the other. The action sequences just became a muddled ball. They were moments, I'll say where the visuals worked but very fleeting moments but moments that reminded me of such lost potential. I really wanted to like this but it was a mess and a disaster.
